Fandom High Graduation Ceremony, Class of 2012, Early Saturday Evening (Part 1)
With things back to normal - or as normal as Fandom ever got - preparations for graduation had gone into full swing. The ceremony was set for right after sunset, to make sure all types of guests could safely attend, and the lawn had been lit up with blue and gold lights, creating safe paths in which to walk to the seating area and giving everything a twinkling, serene appearance.
Of course, the staff knew that graduation was rarely a serene event, and the fact that Ingvar's volcano was being unusually active emphasized the need to prepare the seniors as much as possible. Last year's cache of weapons had been discreetly stashed in a trunk behind the podium...and yes, they'd all been properly cleaned. Who knew what dried Viking blood could do to metal?
Once everything had been arranged, the guests were let in, and all that was left was to pray everything went smoothly.

Re: Andrew Wiggin
Petra remembered finding her own re-entry into high school silly, too. It had been a lot like playing games of pretend, trying to duck under the weight of the fame that had made her popular, trying to be herself even in an environment that didn't fit her at all.
But Petra hadn't had to graduate - Achilles had made sure of that.
There was something funny, wrong, and completely right about Ender being the one who actually managed to do this. So when he accepted his diploma, she did as audience did and applauded.
